The Ziegelbach has only very rarely had such a high water level until now that it could not be crossed without problems.

Xanderklinge Gorge with Waterfalls

Highlight • Gorge

The way through the Xander Blade, in our case from top to bottom, is heaven, hell and madness at the same time. Very demanding and sometimes very slippery, I made …

Viewpoint overlooking the Xanderklinge waterfall

Highlight • Viewpoint

From a viewing platform you have a fantastic view of the blade. Over three-meter-high waterfalls and ten-meter-high cliffs can be discovered there.

Treasure chest at the Xanderklinge

Highlight • Rest Area

When you emerge from the Xanderklinge gorge from the bottom up, you'll be surprised by a treasure chest. Honest hikers are welcome to open it and find refreshments. A voluntary contribution is appreciated.

I think it's a lovely idea!

February 13, 2025,Drei Schluchten ab und bis Neubulach. Ziegelbach Xanderklinge Erchingen

The streams had a lot of water and I could only cross the Ziegelbach once and then had to improvise. I did not cross the other streams directly at the stream either.

If yesterday I still thought the paths through the Monbachtal were challenging, today I was proven wrong.
This tour was undoubtedly incredibly beautiful, but as soon as I had completed the bat path, my legs were shaking with exertion and my gut told me to stop🫣
But no, I continued on the planned tour and set off for the Xanderklinge👍😅

August 4, 2024,🌲Schwarzwald: Ziegelbach (Fledermauspfad) - Xanderklinge - Erchinger Schlucht 🚶🏾‍♀️🚶🏽‍♀️🚶🏼🚶🏻👸🏼

From the mine tunnel we first went along the bat path along the stream bed into the Seitzental. From there we went up the Xanderklinge to the Krabben Nescht. From Holzbronn we went back down through the Erchinger Gorge and back to the car park. We needed to be sure-footed as we walked a lot along the stream bed. But …

August 4, 2024,Neubulach: durch 3 Schluchten im Schwarzwald

Challenging round over rocks, stones, through the stream with friends from the Neubulach silver mine. Good shoes are important.
First you follow the bat trail downhill along the Ziegelbach, a narrow path that repeatedly crosses the stream.
We had our first stop at the Talmühle.
There is only a very small menu, and the elderly owners have trouble carrying everything. …

October 1, 2023,Von Neubulach über Fledermauspfad 🦇 und Xanderklinge zum Krabba Nescht 🦐 und zurück

With friends we first hiked from the Silberbergwerk car park in Neubulach along the bat path along the stream to the Nagold. On the way, the children looked for stones with minerals from the mine by the stream and found them.
It's something completely different when you find such minerals yourself than when you buy such stones at the mine. …

Two great streams and an exciting silver mine. Great on hot days. The bat trail in Ziegelbach requires sure-footedness and is great to walk with children. The Xanderblade is incredibly beautiful. Sure-footedness and climbing on sandstone waterfalls is doable and fun for experienced people. The exit before the climbing sections is steep. The silver mine is worth seeing. Have fun

Excursion to the refreshingly shady bat path with a detour to the refreshingly cool Neubulach mine ⚒🦇

Shady trees, a gentle breeze, the children are on the prowl. In a small depression we make our way steadily uphill, along the small Ziegelbach.
